How to Choose The Best Swim Teacher In Melbourne

"When starting swimming lessons in Melbourne, it's important to know that your Swim Teacher is the best possible choice. Many people are unsure of how to choose the best teacher, so we’ve compiled a list of what to look for when doing your swim lesson homework
"

1) Find a Swim Teacher Who Meets the Certification Requirements

"Finding a Swim Teacher that meets your needs hinges on them holding the correct training specifications. What does that look like? Swim Teachers should have the following qualifications:
"

CPR Certification

First Aid Certification

Formal Swim Teacher Training/Certification

2) Make Sure the Swim Teacher has Two or More Years of Formal Teaching Experience

For swimming lessons, it's essential that the Swim Teacher have formal teaching experience. A lot of people will advertise that they have 15 years as a competitive swimmer – but that simply isn't enough when it comes to private swim lessons. Just because the person has excelled at the sport themselves doesn’t necessarily make them a good Swim Teacher or swim coach. Sometimes, the teaching experience is just with a few friends and family members, and that also isn't equivalent to true "teaching" experience as a qualified Swim Teacher.
This is something we screen for when interviewing potential swim instructors in Melbourne at AquaMobile Swim School. While a Swim Teacher may seem perfect on paper, there have been many occasions where we turn teachers down for a job because they struggle to answer questions on teaching basic swim skills. In many cases, they're used to giving informal advice to fellow swimmers who need technique refinement — as a result, they struggle to break skills down into simple steps that are digestible for novice swimmers.
That's why we recommend that the Swim Teacher have two or more years of formal teaching experience. This ensures that they are confident and knowledgeable, which will translate to a better learning experience for beginning swimmers. With two-plus years of experience, they'll have worked with many different student personalities and learning styles, improving their ability to adapt their teaching techniques to get students to learn quickly and effectively.

3) Check that the Swim Teacher is Fully Insured

"This is extremely important. Due to cost constraints, many independent Swim Teachers in Melbourne have no insurance coverage, which can leave you with major liability costs if an incident occurs. AquaMobile has a multi-million dollar general liability insurance policy to fully insure all our AquaMobile Swim Teachers while they're teaching our clients.
"

4) Look for a swimming teacher with Experience to Meet Your Specific Needs

Make sure the teacher is experienced teaching the age, swim level, and your specific needs. You may also be interested in looking for an teacher with specialized skills for your lessons.
Some areas of expertise you may want to look for include:

Experience teaching children with special needs

Experience in parent and tot lessons or infant lessons

Specialized in certain skills (diving, synchro, etc.)

Competitive swim coaching

Endurance and fitness lessons

Determine what specific learning goals you have for your lessons to find someone who is able to meet your individual needs.

5) Perform a Background Check

Consider getting a background check done on the teacher. This is especially important if they are coming to your own home. Knowing that the Swim Teacher is trustworthy and responsible will give you additional peace of mind. Each AquaMobile Swim Teacher in Melbourne must pass this step as part of the normal hiring process.

6) Look For a Personality Fit

Once you know that the Swim Teacher is qualified and experienced, do a temperature check on the connection between the teacher and you. Do the personalities mesh well? Can the Swim Teacher explain concepts in a way that makes sense to you?
Some aspects of their personality to consider include:

Do you respond better to a high energy or calm instructor?

Are you looking for someone who will be more firm or lenient?

Do you want a more relaxed or strict lesson plan?

Having a strong bond between the Swim Teacher and you will allow for:

Eagerness to participate in lessons

More confidence in the water

A fun experience

"To make sure you’ve found the right Swim Teacher, especially if you're conducting the search independently, make sure you speak with the Swim Teacher before the first lesson to get a sense of their personality.
"

Taking the Plunge: 5 Common Obstacles for Adult Swimming Lessons

Swimming, as with any new endeavor, is as much about the mind as is it the body.

It's normal for many students to come with existing fears.

Some never had the opportunity to take swim lessons as a child. Others signed up for swim lessons decades ago and had a bad experience, or at the time, didn’t have interest to see it through.
On the first day of class I often ask my adult swim students what motivated them to sign up, because yes, all come motivated. Some common motivators we often hear include:
“Oh my daughter is in swim team and she’s pushing me to learn.”“I had a bad experience when I was a kid, someone pushed me in.”“I just never had the chance to learn.”“I got injured running and I heard that swimming is an excellent sport gentle on the joints.”“It’s on my live list bucket list.”“I just want to enjoy being in the water.”“I turned 40 and want to celebrate by picking up a new hobby.”
We applaud them for showing up to their adult swim lesson and moving forward. In teaching and working closely with adults starting to swim, we’ve identified five common obstacles and swimming tips for adults learning how to swim, which can be tackled with persistence, commitment and yes, a sense of humour helps.

The 5 Tips for overcoming obstacles stopping you from taking adult swimming lessons:

1. Swim in your own lane: Playing the comparison game and frequently looking at others can hinder you from moving ahead. Remember where you started and where you are now. Don’t compare yourself to others.
2. Show up: Wayne Gretzky once said, “You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.” And so it is with many things in life including swimming. Sometimes the toughest part is getting to the pool in Melbourne and getting in the water, but every student I’ve had has said that they always feel better afterwards. Mission accomplished for the day.
"3. Practice makes perfect as they say in Carnegie Hall: A 30-45 minute weekly lesson isn’t all that much time, given that we have 24 hours a day, 7 day a week. In order to see change, you have to take action. Talking and dreaming about something won’t help. Showing up at the swimming pool in Melbourne on your own time or with a fellow classmate will help, and it’s a great way to make new mates when you practice together.
"
4. Practice patience: A novice swimmer who is an excellent runner and cyclist showed up to the first lesson and told us he wanted to do a full triathlon (yes, including the 1,500 yard swim in open water) after six lessons. He came in not able to swim one full lap. Six lessons? In the age of social media and instant gratification, there is an expectation that change should occur rapidly. However, anything worth doing takes time and hard work. We work with students to set realistic and “mini goals” towards a bigger objective. In the end, you will get there but it does require patience.
5. Have Fun: Last but not least, it is important to have fun and mix learning with laughter. We often practice skills in a circle and we end each lesson with something different like aqua yoga. In the very last class I like to reward the students with a swimmer pin and remind them of how far they have come.
This isn’t to say that the journey in the lane isn’t challenging. It can be, but in the end the journey is equally – if not more important – than the goal.

Some Frequently Asked Questions:

How long will it take for me to learn how to swim?

A: Many people are different and progress at different rates. We tailor our swim lessons toward the individual. By booking one of our AquaMobile Swim Teachers in Melbourne, we'll be able to get a better grasp on the skill level of the student.

How frequently should I book adult private swim lessons?

A: Most swim students thrive and tend to progress faster with a more intensive program of swimming lessons — that means 2-3 swim lessons per week. Research has shown that skills are better acquired with regular intensive lessons rather than intermittent practice. With our experience over the past 13 years, we agree!

Can I book a trial private adult swim lesson in Melbourne?

A: Trial swim lessons are not a good indicator of the progress that will be made throughout a series of 8 or more private swim lessons. The first swim lesson often establishes comfort level, as this is where the bonding and rapport between student and Swim Teacher begins to form. It can take 2-3 swim lessons to build that connection and trust between teacher and student, and to see visible progress. We do have a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee — if you aren't satisfied after your swim lesson, we'll set you up with another Swim Teacher free of charge. If that does not remedy the problem, we're happy to provide a full refund.

How soon in advance should I book my AquaMobile adult swim lessons in Melbourne?

A: As soon as possible. Times tend to fill up quickly once we open registration, especially for times during the second half of October through April. There is often more availability in September and the first half of October. AquaMobile swim lessons are also available year round, but availability may be more limited in some areas.You see more frequently asked questions (FAQ)here

Testimonials

I would recommend AquaMobile to everyone. With AquaMobile you are learning everything precisely. With the bios online I knew exactly what experience the instructors had, if they’ve been working with children previously – I knew exactly what I was getting. Without a doubt, my children progressed at triple speed vs. enrolling with the city pool.

Joanne L.

My son loves the instructor and he’s learned so much. She relates really well with my son, always arrives on time and is professional. From the 3rd class he was swimming by himself, floating by himself. We are very happy that we found AquaMobile.

Rachel K.

When I called, it was very convenient and easy, AquaMobile set me up right away with a schedule of lessons, there was no waiting. Olivia is 4 and didn’t know how to swim and she’s swimming on her own now and really confident in the pool. Hallie is now a much stronger swimmer now and her strokes have improved tremendously. We’ve had a really positive experience. My girls love it!

Alyssa S.

The profile descriptions of the instructors were the best. To hear that there was someone local in our area that met our needs was very important to us. The second year we registered, the office was very accommodating to make sure we got the same instructor back from the first year, even though she was no longer in our region.

Dawn S.

This is our second year with AquaMobile. We’ve really enjoyed it so far! Our instructor is GREAT and made my daughter feel comfortable in the water without pressuring her to do things she isn’t ready for. She’s having fun and learning.

Irene S.

The service is great, everyone is very nice, scheduling is flexible. You can tell how much the instructors care and they make it fun for the kids. They are learning a lot. The progress has been amazing.
